Learning objectives
The course focuses on complex IoT systems that present the interaction of embedded components with cloud components through a communication network. The course aims to describe the techniques for the automatic design of such systems, also present in the industrial field, starting from their specification to go through verification, automatic synthesis and testing. The main languages for dealing with this type of project and the most advanced automatic tools for their manipulation are also presented. At the end of the course the students will have to demonstrate that they have the following ability to apply the acquired knowledge: to identify, starting from the specifications, the best architecture for a complex IoT system; model, design and verify complex analog / digital components; develop embedded software and interact with IoT and cloud architectures; partition a functionality between HW and SW with attention to network architecture and operating systems; build a project report highlighting the critical aspects resolved; to be able to use additional languages for the design of IoT systems starting from those studied in the course.

Didactic methods
Each theoretical frontal lesson is exemplified with laboratory activities. Both are supported by material on the elearning site. Recordings of all lessons are available on the Moodle pages of the A.Y.21/22.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam is composed of two parts: theory and laboratory report.
Evaluation criteria
To pass the exam, the students must show:
- they have understood the principles of embedded and IoT system architectures;
- they are able to model and simulate a complex embedded and IoT system;
- they are able to develop embedded software interacting with network and operating system;
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to solve application scenarios in the context of IoT.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final exam consists of a written test containing questions and exercises. The student must also provide a report of all laboratory activities to complete the exam. The final grade is the sum of the theory exam and the evaluation of the laboratory report.
